JP's Section

[Colton]

Is there a reason why we cant reply to JP's recaps and stuff? I completely understand why we shouldnt be able to make threads in that catagory, but it'd be nice to be able to comment.


Edit: Maybe i shoulda put this in the help section, considering its website related

I wondered that too, and its probably to deter thread hijacking and things going off into a tangent, etc...
I'd imagine that the "Upcoming Shows" part is where we'd have to make comments at.

That's what I figured. Though I do agree with Colton; there are times I'd like to make comments in some of the threads. It's probably a good idea, though, to keep them locked.

I agree, there have been many times that I wanted to add something or quote JP in agreement on something, but alas, I couldn't.
It is probably for the better.
Atleast one section on here is "BS free."

Why don't you copy and paste the part you want to comment on and do it general discussion ?? Just a thought........

If we can do that, why couldnt we just reply?

That's the way Ron set it up. I like it that way for two reasons...

First, considering how long most of my recaps are with photos and reviews, imagine how long it would take the recaps to load in with 20 responses tacked on the end of them! Folks with slow computers or dial-up modems would be further up the creek...

Second, every time a response gets posted on the end of a thread, that thread gets bumped to the top of the forum. Not allowing replies on those recaps keeps them in chronological order, so if somebody wants to look up something I wrote or a photo I posted in, say, April 2007, they can scroll down and easily find it, rather than having to hunt through a bunch of random order recaps.

If someone did quote a picture, if its loaded once on the screen, its loaded everywhere else... so pictures wouldnt slow anyone down any more than they already were. Replies wouldnt really effect loading time in any way.

but this makes sense. Guess phpbb2 doesnt have an option to make a forum auto-sort by post date?

Makes sense to me.

You can copy something from JP's corner and paste it in a general discussion. That way you can selete the part you want to comment on. Would seem the only way to do it.
